XenForo Forms

[MegaPixel]

Hi,

We're currently on Zetaboards but are planning our move to XenForo. However, our forum heavily relies on the use of forms that players can fill in, and the answers be posted as topics with a bbcode template. Is anyone able to advise/script this request? (Payment can be arranged) but we need the forms to allow us to:

• Any amount of questions as we like.
• Unlimited amount of forms can be built
• Allow templates to be made in bbcode so when a form is submitted, it has our template.
• Ability to have the completed form be put into a specific node of our choice.
• Ability to use Dropdowns, short text answers and long answers.
• Ability to redirect after submission (Form is submitted, the user is redirected to a link of our choosing depending on the form)
• Control Form Type access by Usergroup.

The big one is the ability to have calculated fields. So depending on their answers, they'd be a hidden field that'd do basic math sums and show the outcome on the result. An example of this is below:

Field 1: Quantity
Field 2: Unit Price

Total: Would automatically populate with Unit Price multiplied by Quantity

Drop Down Menu: Type of Product
Field: Quantity

If type = "Vehicle", then it'd do: Quantity * 25 + 2 = #
Then it'd use currentDate + # to get the completion date.

Completion Date: Type of Product

Is something like this possible/would someone be able to take this up? We manage to have a form like this working on zetaboards which the javascript for it can be found here:

I'm not sure if you have checked the RM yet, so in case you didn't, there are 2 form addons for XF1 and 1 for XF2.
I don't think that those addons can do calculations, but you have to talk with the addon owners. Actually there is only one @Snog (the other addon got abandoned which is for XF1).
He has for XF1/2 a form addon. Maybe get in touch with him or check out his addons on his site first.

I spoke with Snog, unfortunately there isn't an option for customisation in that aspect.
I did also check the RM but didn't have much luck. At the moment we're on Zetaboards (Which is enormously less than XenForo) but we've managed to automate systems like that which is essentially (take this field, do a math, produce answer in another field).

If it's not possible, is someone able to suggest any method to achieve what we need? Or help me understand what limitations XF has compared to ZB? As we've been on ZB for 6 years, moving is a big step so we'd like to make sure we have everything covered and know what limitations we're facing.

Kind Regards,
Jamie

@NixFifty is developing 'Applications' This advanced forms addon is currently in Alpha phase. You can ask him if you can sponsor calculated and relational fields.

Thank you for your help, Alfa1.

We have absolutely no issue paying anyone for custom work, to help us achieve the goal to move to XenForo. So I've just messaged NixFifty.
